Statement from New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer on the Resignation of ACS Commissioner Gladys Carrión

“Gladys Carrión is a dedicated public servant who has spent her life caring about children. The passion with which she has tried to improve lives both inside and outside government is unquestionable. I wish her well in the future.

“It’s clear our City is failing our most vulnerable children. Whether its kids being put in dangerous foster care homes, cluster sites with serious violations, or commercial hotels where there are no services, the status quo is unacceptable.

“City Hall must breakdown agency silos and put forward a clear, transparent plan for reform.

“Commissioners come and go, but fundamental change must be here to stay.”
